Am from the UK too but my younger brother is American and lives in Phoenix, and this would be my second time in Vegas. Nice tourist place to visit.
    Ah cool. My wife's cousin is from Arkansas but lives in Phoenix. Great place.

    Hope you enjoy it!

      Once the fight nears the buzz will get bigger let alone they're definitely going to use the next 3 weeks remaining in the NFL season (more importantly the Super Bowl) to promote the fight. I don't expect record breaking PPVs but I think this will end up being a pretty successful.

        I honestly think that pbc/tr are going to promote the hell out of the fight the 2 weeks or week leading up to the fight. That seems to be way to go for ppv's now. Casuals have always been the huge buyers of ppv's. This fight does between 500k-750k, this time, imo.

          The promotion hasn't really started though? They are going to rely on the shoulder programming and promoting it during the SB weekend and possibly the NFCCG. That would do more than any presser.

            Well nobody cares but there was just a huge bidding war in the uk to show this fight so either the folks with money see it as a huge event of public interest or you have a crystal ball

              I totally agree. Didn't check any outlets, but I give zero shit about this one (even for free). It's for casuals. I don't even know when it is supposed to happen. Heavyweight boxing is dead for the real fans.

              Since the British care so much about it, why not have it down there?

                People think it's just Spence fans that realize this but it's not.
                You seem to care about press conferences when it makes PBC look good. Crawford and Charlo fights both had ratings that they were expected to have and press conferences didn't seem to matter.

                  But there you go. You had your press conference. Are you happy now?
                  Stop crying you little weasel. Cant believe you are upset that they had to do a U turn and do press. Well i can believe it cuz your a weasel.

                    A press conference to announce a fight that would have ZERO shoulder programming is a big deal. My whole point with the press conference everybody was freaking out about is that its useless for this fight because there promotion from both ESPN & FOX will be bigger than and press conference. You're dumber than I thought if you didn't recognize the distinction

                      The you tube interviews help promote the fight and receive thousands of views with all channels combined ,how does this poster call himself a real boxing fan even with his spamming of the forum for Wilder who it helps and was one of his best showings ? This is why people won’t miss Wilder on here at all .
